## Abstract Thermoplastic starch (MaterBi®) based composites containing flax fibers in unidirectional and crossed‐ply arrangements were produced by hot pressing using the film stacking method. The flax content was varied in three steps, viz. 20, 40 and 60 wt.‐%. Static tensile mechanical properties

The bending behavior of 7 p dia. carbon filaments at room temperature was studied by forming a loop in a vertical plane and measuring the loop diameter corresponding to various loads applied to the free end. The initial slope of the resulting stress-strain curve gave values of Young's modulus equal
Unidirectional (UD) composite laminates based on glass fibers (GF) and high-performance polythylene fibers (PEF) were prepared with partially polymerized methyl methacrylate (MMA) at room temperature, followed by heating at 55°C (well below the softening point of PEF) for 2 h. The tensile strength,
Heat treated poly(p-phenylene benzobisthiazole) (PBZT) fibers tested in tension result in two types of failure modes. In failure mode I, the fiber exhibits a relatively sharp break; mode I1 is characterized by significant axial fiber splitting. Approximately 20% of the fibers failed in mode I1 when
## Abstract Most fibers are irregular and are often subjected to rapid straining during mechanical processing and end‐use applications. In this article, the effect of fiber dimensional irregularities on the dynamic tensile behavior of irregular fibers was examined using the finite‐element method (F
